Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an urgent plea for help. Due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, my family and I have been forced to flee our home and seek refuge in Khan Younis. My mother, who is pregnant, is in critical need of assistance to ensure her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

We are facing severe hardships and are struggling to provide her with the necessary medical care and basic necessities. I have launched a campaign to raise funds for my mother's survival during this perilous time.

Your support in sharing our campaign on social media could make a life-saving difference. Please help us spread the word and gather the support we desperately need.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Please help us by sharing the post on your page so that we can collect donations and get out of the war. You are our hope. I will be very grateful to you . ❤️🙏🏼

"24 massacres in 24 hours"

This is how Palestinians are describing today (October 23) in Gaza

The death toll had passed 5000 including 2000 children

Five thousand murdered in two weeks

1200 of which are unaccounted for under the entire residential buildings that have been flattened

This is not normal

We cannot get used to these numbers

This is horrific and we need to keep advocating and holding israel accountable for this and call it what it is: genocide.

Read, share, boycott, amplify Gazan voices - do whatever you can but don't ignore this now that you know.

UPDATED 2023/10/18 0530 (UTC+3)

I don't usually talk about Israel/Palestine, but as an Israeli citizen who doesn't support genocide, I need to speak out.

We're seeing, on a massive scale, news websites release articles saying "Israel bombs hospital in Gaza" and revising it to "Israel, Hamas trade blame for hospital bombing in Gaza". Every single news site is doing the same thing.

New York Times, original headline:

New York Times, new headline:

Business Insider, original headline: Hamas says Israeli forces bombed a hospital and killed hundreds of people. The UN has documented dozens of other attacks on healthcare in Gaza." New headline:

Reuters, original headline:

Politico, original headline:

Boston Globe, original headline:

Financial Times, original headline:

Daily Beast, old headline:

Daily Beast, new headline:

Every single news site is changing their headlines, but instead of admitting the correction as is done in every single other instance of this updating, they are acting as if this was always their headline. Note the repeated use of "Hamas and Israel trade blame" in the new headlines. This is the power the Israeli military exerts over the news, the influence the US government has over every outlet, and the proof there is no unbiased reporting on Israel/Palestine. Our only accurate source is the civilian journalists being killed in Gaza and having their access to the outside world cut off.

(Before this is reposted and I am accused of being a self-hating Israeli citizen and Jew, I need Zionists to understand that the US military is not Judaism, and making the leap from "the US government uses its influence over a lot of media" to "Jews control the media" shows more about you than me.)

hey is it just me or should we be making a huge fucking deal over tumblr staff deleting a video that debunks IOF propaganda

(and while I'm at it here is the YouTube link to the video also. ive been trying to save/access it in the wayback machine to link that instead for archiving purposes but I'm having difficulties so I'll try and add it later but if anyone else is able to add it sooner it's appreciated)

I think it should take longer to make tv shows and movies. I think shooting days should be shorter. I think AD's lives should be longer. I think we shouldn't have to be in a goddamn rush all the time. I think we should have the time it takes to make good art. I think fans should wait even longer than they do and be happy that everyone who made the art is getting full nights of sleep.

It just pisses me off the amount of homophobia and general insensitivity towards Noah I've seen since yesterday. So allow me to give everyone a few reminders.

Just because Noah doesn't wear make up or have a high pitched voice or wear feminine clothing does not mean he's faking it. It does not mean he lied about being gay. How he acts and speaks and dresses does not determine his sexuality...his attraction to MEN does. Gay men can wear snapbacks too. Gay men can be gymbros too. Gay men can be cringey little frat boys too [affectionate]. There is no specific way to be gay. Stop perpetuating stereotypes. Also, just because he thought Zendaya was pretty is not proof that he's "faking it and is actually bisexual." Saying he's in denial and he's really bisexual after he explicitly called himself gay is so disrespectful and you're invalidating his sexuality and trying to act like you know him and his feelings better than himself.

Making jokes about his best friend running him over and hate crimeing him immediately after he came out is NOT FUNNY AT ALL. Not only is it just tone deaf and disrespectful to Noah and taking away from his moment, but it is disrespectful to Millie and their friendship as well. Those homophobic Millie jokes expired 6 fucking years ago. PLEASE give it a rest. Millie loves Noah and she is NOT homophobic. Seems like y'all are just projecting your own bigotry onto her at this point.

Noah being gay does not mean he wasn't acting during Will's scenes. His and Will's experiences will not be the same just because they're both gay. Saying "he wasn't acting here" really is just disrespectful to him and undermining his talent. He is not Will. Will is not him. The only thing they have in common is their sexuality. But they are different people with different experiences and SOME similarities. He portrayed Will beautifully because he is a great actor who can tap into his character and who for the most part gets what Will is going through and could translate that into his scenes...he didn't portray Will beautifully because he's gay and Will is gay. Please be serious. You wouldn't say stuff like this about straight actors who plays straight characters.

Stop saying shit like "he's girlypop" or "we knew" or "the closet was glass" that is insensitive as fuck. And the next straight girl I see call him a twink, fruity, or girlypop is getting karate chopped in the fucking throat. And while we are on the topic of straight girls, stop posting videos of you crying and screaming because Noah is gay. Him finally being confident and comfortable enough to share that part of himself with everyone is not a loss for you. It is a win for HIM. Stop trying to make his coming out about you.

AND TO ALL THE STRAIGHT GIRLS AND MIDDLE AGED GAY MEN MAKING JOKES ABOUT NOAH BEING A BOTTOM, THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL FOR YOU PEOPLE. THAT BOY IS 18 AND FRESHLY CAME OUT. LEAVE HIM ALONE. STOP SEXUALIZING HIM FFS.

Saying Noah must be in love with Finn just because Noah is gay and Finn plays his love interest on the show is fucking weird. Gay people don't just fall in love with everyone of the same sex. Noah being gay and being friends with Finn does NOT mean he has feelings for him. Please be fucking serious.

And to the Nillie shippers throwing a fucking fit and acting a fool...get tf over it. Y'all never should have been shipping real life people to begin with.

Just some reminders for people since I've been seeing a lot of people being really fucking rude and weird towards Noah.
